Data volumes are growing exponentially, and Dell has an evolutionary and comprehensive Intelligent Data Management (IDM) strategy to help give you back control. The Dell™ IDM portfolio includes platforms, software, applications and services that are designed to give you efficiency and visibility into your organization’s data access and usage requirements so that you can align storage tiering and management policies to the changing business value of information.
In particular, storage of unstructured content, such as rich media, presents a challenge which must be dealt with for compliance and business requirements. Use of traditional storage area network (SAN) and network attached storage (NAS) disks for secondary storage of content or data objects comes with a high price tag. Tape-based systems bring their own access challenges.
To meet these needs, Dell created the DX Object Storage Platform as part of its IDM strategy to offer an affordable, peer-scaling object storage architecture based on industry-standard hardware.
